I bought mine from Soye Lighting http://www.gzsoye.com/ direct from China a few years ago, 46" Single row 40x10w cree's (400watt) I measured the current draw at 269 watts, but still it is farking bright!. Cost me $500 with shipping at the time and after 6 months I noticed a bit of moisture in the bar, so I removed the lens and resealed it all with silicone, its been moisture free ever since.
I find it is way too bright if you are within cooee of any road signs. Even on the country highways there are plenty of signs about. Off road it is awesome. The pics below are of it fitted to my Pajero, I've thought about swapping it to the patrol but I think I might try a set of Fyrlyts 9000 Nemsis spotties next time around, for a softer/less harsh light. I've also got a set of 195 watt each, led spotties, but the bar just blitzes them, they add a little infill but make very little difference when the bar is on.
The hotspot in the pic below was not really evident, its just the way the camera has handled it.

Nice pics mate, I am wondering how to get the right size for Nissan Patrol Y61, Should I measure it first? Also, I am tossing up with how much watts I do need. Does it mean high watts is always a better choice for off-road.
Cheers mate.

Have a chat to @Lights by PM or give him a call.
I really went out on a wing. All I know is that with both light bars hooked up to the same switch, the intensity is like 2 days worth of sunlight and a full moon, combined. lol.
Mine got hooked up to the same independent switch, so that both come on at the same time, but from memory, the 37", 320 watt light has a 40amp fuse. Everything I've got in my ute is fused, independently. Next week, I'll post a pic with the full monty. I'm not even sure if I need a bit bigger alternator.
Any lighting above the bottom of the bonnet, in WA, is illegal. I'm about a piece of tissue paper below the legal limit - depending on the angle you look at it. lol.

I've never been pinged in 3 years for mine on the roof even though I've been pulled over for RBT's/speeding etc, I think mine is more of a stealth mounting under the roofrack though and not sticking out like the proverbial. Stupid bloody rule, hope they change it at some stage.

I know plenty in WA with roof mounted lightbars, but don't know of anyone being fined or canaried for one. Hopefully sense will prevail when/if the states ever nut out VSB14 amongst themselves so we can have some uniformity in the rules between states.
